It's a lot of people that's tried to stop my grind, there's been a lot of hate, but even more love.

I want certain things out of life. I want my grand kids, my kids' kids, being able to inherit what I've worked so hard to build.

Even though I'm out there as an artist, I continue droppin' mixtapes, I continue doin' this and continue showin' DJs love personally. That's why I continue doin' a lot of things other artists don't do.

Regardless of what people say, that's what they gotta bang in their heads: Ace Hood is the future. You ain't got nobody else in my lane.

There's a lot of people that try to come between my clique and try to stop what we're doin', but we got no mercy for 'em.

I still follow that model: just go hard every day, and take it one step at a time.

I'm tryin' to build myself bigger than just Ace Hood, I'm tryin' to build myself as a bigger brand - open up clothing lines, colognes.
